PKSampler’s Future

PKSampler’s Future

So I’ve been spending a lot of time writing commercial music software and playing with ableton live.

There is no better way to become a better programmer than to writecode commercially. You can learn a lot more with deadlines, using newdesign patterns, and interacting with others than you can just writing“cool” software at home. It is obvious after getting used to abletonlive that the pksampler is not going to provide the ground-breakingconcepts that it would have had I released it a whileago. Fortunately, though, there is a lot of useful code in there.

It would be nice to provide a sampler interface with some synths andmidi support. I could go further with a pattern editor andadding/saving midi files or clips like ableton live. It would beimportant to stick to established standards as much as possible tokeep it as palettable as possible for new people. Touchscreenusability would be vital, of course…
